"An ounce of action is worth a ton of theory. Don't be too timid and squeamish about your actions." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

We spend a lot of time trying to make things perfect, making excuses, getting permission, and just thinking too much. It's good to be prepared and to have a well-thought out plan, but not at the cost of exhausting yourself before you have a chance to take action. It's better to make mistakes and seek forgiveness than to endlessly prepare. You learn by doing, not thinking about doing.
